I was trying to remember why that name rang a bell. Isn’t that the name on the little gate/door at the top of the stairs in the Wright’s factory? I thought that I had taken a picture of that when we visited, but I must have been thinking of one that you’ve shared before.

Yes, Howarth's was once a decent-sized cutlery company, but like the others, it waned over the years, and Jack was the last of them. He ended up owning Wright's too, and both names were used. John Maleham rented part of the ground floor of the factory building, where he made a selection of artists' tools, and he wanted to buy the building from Jack. Jack was old, and wanted to retire, so he would only sell John the building if he bought the cutlery business too. While John bought both the Howarth and Wright names, he only ever used the latter. I did ask him about getting some Howarth Lambs made up, and he was agreeable, but then suddenly retired, so it was one of many project that never happened :thumbsup:

Correct, 26 was the count only the vintage elevator Micarta, not including the extra two knives, which were made with leftover liners that had already been stamped with the GL-24 stamp. I ashe’d Eric to choose the handle materials. He had slightly different names for these on the box labels, but I referred to them Pickle Bone and Cranberry Relish Jigged Bone. 😁

LOL! :D So you get natural AND artificial flavours?! :D Maqde for a great pic of your Shadow Lamb Paul :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I'm off to the dentist for a filling - lost when a previous dentist hit me in the teeth with the dental pliers! 😖 Get a clean and polish while I'm there, and then I'm going into town to do a few things, and hopefully meet up with Wolfie, maybe get a pint if he makes it! :rolleyes: I hope everyone has a great weekend :) Got Smudge in my pocket :thumbsup:

Thanks for the pic, that’s what I was thinking of. :thumbsup:

That is a shame about the Howarth Lambs, would’ve been neat to have a run of knives with that name on them.

Thanks, Jack. It was tough to choose which one to hang on to and which to give away. In the end Scout made the decision for me, having grown attached to the one that looked like a pickle. 😁

Thanks pal, I decided to have it done without the local anaesthetic. It's fixed for now, but the other dentist gave me quite a crack in the tooth it seems, and the future isn't looking rosy :(

I have to slow down when reading these posts. I thought those were the birds that took Jack to lunch. 😳

That's how they were David :) The 'J' is actually for James, rather than Jack. I think this one is a bit older. Lost it's tip unfortunately :( :thumbsup:

Cute bird, but since that's Australia, I'm assuming it's violently hostile and extremely venomous, and now your loved ones are wishing you were holding the knife instead of the camera.

Funny you say that! Noisy miners are one of the only bird species I don’t liked. That’s because they’re so territorial they actually reduce diversity by chasing off other species. Interestingly they prefer living around human habitation.

He probably should have been holding his .22.
Indian myna birds were introduced in the 1860s, territorial and highly aggressive to other species will take over nests destroying eggs and killing chick's.
